Exclusive city sports
cars have a tradition at BRABUS. After the sold-out limited-edition
special models STAR-ONE, star-two, ULTIMATE 101 and ULTIMATE 112
BRABUS (Brabus-Allee, D-46240 Bottrop, phone + 49 / (0) 2041 /
777-0, fax + 49 / (0) 2041 / 777 111, Internet www.brabus.com) now
presents the BRABUS ultimate style. At the Geneva Motor Show 2011
the new edition based on the new smart fortwo Cabrio and limited to
100 cars celebrates its world debut. For this show the open-top
speedster was built specifically as a “tender to” the BRABUS 700
Biturbo based on the Mercedes SLS AMG. Both vehicles have the same
special “Imola Grey Metallic” paint and an exclusive black/light
grey all-leather interior.

The heart of the small speedster beats powerfully: The 999-cm³
three-cylinder turbocharged engine of the BRABUS ultimate style
produces 102 hp (100bhp) / 75 kW and a peak torque of 147 Nm (108
lb-ft). With this engine the open two-seater turns into the ultimate
city sports car. Combined with the automatic transmission, whose
five speeds can also be shifted manually with shift paddles like in
Formula 1 racing, the special model sprints from 0 – 100 km/h (62
mph) in 8.9 seconds, and reaches a top speed of 170 km/h (103 mph).
The sporty accompanying sound is produced by the BRABUS
stainless-steel sport exhaust system with two chrome-plated
tailpipes.

The extremely agile handling is complemented by striking looks:
These include the BRABUS option of painting the entire
limited-edition car including the tridion safety cell in any special
color from matte black to bright yellow. The BRABUS WIDESTAR
wide-body version sets the ultimate style miles apart from a normal
smart fortwo of the latest generation.

Immediately noticeable are the BRABUS WIDESTAR fender flares front
and back. The large wheel wells offers space for a tire/wheel
combination that is highly unusual in this vehicle class: Like the
exterior the BRABUS Monoblock VI wheels are also painted “Imola Grey
Metallic” and mounted in size 7Jx18 with size 205/35 R 18
high-performance tires on the front axle. Size 8.5Jx18 wheels with
size 235/30 R 18 tires in the rear provide optimal grip. In
combination with the height-adjustable BRABUS sport suspension the
agile handling of the ultimate style is hard to surpass.

The remaining outfit of the two-seater is just as sporty: The BRABUS
front spoiler with additional front flaps, black main headlights and
LED daytime running lights in the front apron lend the luxurious
ultra-compact car a sporty-dynamic face.

The BRABUS sill skirts create a homogenous transition between front
and rear fender flares. The rear molding provides a striking
backdrop for the BRABUS sport exhaust.

The exclusive cabriolet also features an exclusive interior. Seats,
door trim, dashboard, instrument cluster and numerous other details
are wrapped in a combination of especially soft and breathable black
and light grey BRABUS Mastik leather. The masterful work by the
company upholstery shop is especially evident in the precision seams
throughout the interior.

The ergonomically shaped BRABUS ‘Topline’ multifunction steering
wheel is also part of the standard equipment of the ultimate style
as are illuminated scuff plates, subtle ambiance lighting and
high-quality black floor mats made from stitched leather with
leather trim.

The BRABUS ultimate style placard with consecutive numbering attests
to the exclusivity of this special model. Prices start at EUR 42,900
MSRP.
